Freya's POVI clutched my phone tightly, a bitter smile slowly forming on my face.Whenever I needed Kingsley the most, he was always absent.Alone in the quiet waiting room, I sat for what felt like an eternity, until the emergency room light switched off, the door swung open, and the doctor emerged."Although your mother was successfully revived this time, her overall bodily functions are significantly deteriorating, which is concerning. You should prepare yourself," the doctor stated in a detached tone.I expressed my gratitude to the doctor, dismissed him, and requested assistance from the caregiver in fetching a basin of hot water.Wringing out the towel, I perched on the edge of the bed and gently wiped my mother's body.Six years had passed since the accident, and for six years, my mother had remained in this stagnant condition on her hospital bed.Her muscles had nearly wasted away, her body frail and withered, dependent solely on nourishment to sustain her life each day. Desp
Freya's POV"Lastly, the most important news today," Novia said, linking her arm with mine, "Director Michael Harper is currently casting for his new drama, The Luna of Lycan King! Although the main character has already been chosen, Michael's productions usually involve an ensemble of female characters. Even a supporting role can become a breakthrough if you have acting talent. The auditions will take place this Friday at the Lithern Hotel, and I managed to use my connections to help you sign up for an audition."I was taken aback. "But I literally have no experience of acting a role at all. How did my resume pass the screening?""Come on, I have some connections. By the way, I've temporarily put my name in the agent section," Novia paused. "Will you go?""Of course! You've given me this opportunity. How could I pass it up?"Novia cleared her throat. "But there are two things I want to make clear. First, the role they're recruiting for is a supporting female character, so there may n
Kingsley's POVA knock on the door shattered my thoughts, and Jeremy's voice echoed, "Alpha Kingsley, Mrs. Wright has arrived with your lunch."I paused briefly, then responded with a frigid tone, "Show her in."Jeremy escorted her into the room, carefully placing her belongings on the desk before discreetly retreating, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.Freya nervously clasped her hands, awkwardly rooted to the spot. I raised my gaze towards her.The sun's rays streamed through the blinds, casting shifting shadows upon her face. She was a breathtaking vision of beauty. Dressed in a simple yet stylish ensemble, she effortlessly exuded a timeless charm. Her radiant smile illuminated the room, infusing it with warmth and joy. With flowing tresses of glossy, cascading hair that framed her flawless countenance, she exuded an air of refinement and grace. Her eyes, akin to sparkling jewels, possessed a captivating magnetism, drawing people into their depths.I must confess that she
Freya's POVAfter being kicked out of Kingsley's office by security, I strode angrily into the elevator, wondering what my next move should be.I had always known that my mother Livia's marriage to my father Theo was in trouble before her accident, so it came as no surprise when he decided to file for divorce shortly after.However, his lawyer convinced Theo to abandon the idea, fearing that it would harm the company's public image and tarnish his reputation as being unfaithful.Three years had passed since Livia's accident when Theo gradually seized control of the entire company, replacing the management with his own people. Amidst this shift, his thoughts once again turned to divorce. However, that year, by some twist of fate, I was mistakenly accepted by Kingsley to become his Luna.Theo was taken aback upon hearing this news. Since the opportunity for me to be the Luna of the Alpha in the esteemed Shadowmoon Pack would bring him a natural advantage on business, Theo didn't hesita
Freya's POVThe following day, in accordance with the agreed-upon time with the buyer, I carried the necklace to that secondhand boutique that specialized in luxury items. The proprietor led into a private room where there emitted a fragrant aroma, reminiscent of a blend of pine with a touch of sage—a delicate scent that exuded tranquility.Intrigued by the fragrance, I turned my head and inquired, "Sir, what kind of incense is used here?"The proprietor replied, "This incense is a gift from a dear friend who crafted it personally. Do you find it quite pleasing?""Yes, it has a delightful scent," I replied.While engaged in conversation, another customer came in, prompting the proprietor to excuse himself and attend to the newcomer.Before long, the door swung open, and a heavily wrapped woman in dark glasses entered. "Are you the one selling the necklace?" she asked, her voice thin and tinged with surprise, a momentary recognition sparking a visceral discomfort within me.I raised
Kingsley's POVTen thirty o'clock at night.The rain had started pouring at two in the afternoon and showed no signs of ceasing till now.The study window was partially ajar, and the incessant sound of raindrops outside filled the air.The house was tranquil, yet I couldn't focus.Suddenly, memories of Freya flooded my mind—how she used to find excuses to enter the study, be it delivering fruit or milk for a midnight snack, even though I had instructed her not to disturb me while she was working.And each time, she would find a reason to linger, disregarding my warnings and promising that she would keep quiet.I used to find her noisy, but now, in her absence, I couldn't adapt.Just as I was about to pick up my book, the phone beside me rang.I answered the call."Hello, your wife is intoxicated at our establishment. Could you come and retrieve her?""You have the wrong number."I replied indifferently and hung up.The other party didn't call back, but a few minutes later, a text mess
Freya's POVI awoke abruptly, my forehead damp with icy perspiration...Throughout the night, I was plagued by nightmares. One moment, I dreamt of the car accident from before, the despair of being trapped beneath the wreckage, unable to budge; the next moment, I dreamt of Kingsley accepting Tracy with a swollen belly as his mate.A deep masculine voice suddenly reached my ears, "How are you feeling?"I moved with stiffness and turned my head slowly.Kingsley lay on his side beside me, his brow furrowed, seemingly displeased by the sudden interruption of his sleep.Memories of last night flooded my mind in an instant, including how I had shouted his name at the top of my lungs due to his passionate thrusts.Pretending not to hear Kingsley, I grabbed my clothes and attempted to rise.Kingsley swiftly extended his arm, holding me back. "Where do you think you're running off to?""I'm not trying to escape! I just..." I was on my hands and knees, clutching the covers around my body, my fa
Freya's POVMichael scrutinized me from head to toe and inquired, "I didn't catch sight of your resume.""Allow me to introduce myself. I am Freya, a 25-year-old graduate from the acting department at Film University.""In what types of films or television shows have you acted?"My fingers clenched and my voice dropped. "None.""None?" Michael appeared slightly taken aback. "So you lack acting experience."I remained silent."If you haven't worked in the industry since graduating, why do you now wish to pursue it again?"I spoke truthfully, "I'm in need of money."Michael regarded me with surprise.I pressed on, "Furthermore, I require a reputable job to prove my worth. Director Harper, I implore you to grant me the opportunity to audition for the role and reconsider your decision."Before Michael could respond, a noise emanated from inside the room, causing him to retract into the space before reemerging a few moments later.As the door closed, I caught a fleeting glimpse of two long
